...choosing a college "simply based on brand name or reputation." But the surest road to relaxation, it says, is to take a year off before college. It may also be a good path to admission, and will surely be interpreted that way by educators, parents and kids who are doubtless already reading between the document's lines to divine parcels of admissions wisdom. The paper advises that "time away almost never makes one a less desirable candidate." Perhaps paradoxically, it then lists a panoply of hectic-sounding pursuits to which current Harvard students devoted this down year - to be precise...
...president. One of them is going to have to shove whatever he can through a very tense and very divided Congress, deal with some very persistent troubles overseas, and entertain the nation while doing it. The country will go about its business in the meantime, and will doubtless come out fine, give or take. Al Gore desperately wants the job but is determined to win or lose on his own merits. George W.

Next week, when 159 heads of state convene in New York City for the U.N. Millennium Summit--the largest such gathering ever (and doubtless a traffic nightmare that the city will not forget soon)--Annan will press this idea further. In the past few years, he has been refining a policy that calls on the states of the world to step in wherever and whenever human lives are being consumed in conflagrations of hate, disease or poverty. He has not always succeeded. On his watch, in places like Rwanda and Bosnia, he has seen thousands die as they awaited help...
